Midvaal Sports Council officially inaugurated

The establishment of the Midvaal Sports Council is a vote of confidence in the revitalisation of sport in the municipality and a meaningful step toward empowering athletes across different codes to grow and thrive.

This launch builds on the foundation we’ve already laid through initiatives such as the Mayoral Sports Day, Walk with the Mayor and our continued support of local teams through the donation of sports kits and funding for sporting trips. The Council will be tasked with overseeing, administering, and fostering a wide range of sporting activities and programmes within the Midvaal Local Municipality.

This includes establishing a sport’s constitution, rules, and regulations to guide the conduct of various sporting codes and events. The Midvaal Sports Council will ensure the effective coordination and management of these activities, with an emphasis on fair play and organisational integrity.

The Council comprises ten (10) officials, each representing different sporting codes and is structured to reflect the gender and racial diversity of our community. This inclusive approach ensures that the interests and needs of all stakeholders, including sports clubs, community organisations, schools and local governing bodies, are recognised and addressed.

Midvaal commits to integrating sport into our development plans, budgets and strategic partnerships to nurture talent within Midvaal.
